WATCH: Medical Marijuana has Dramatically Improved this Young Girl’s Life (VIDEO)

While far from a panacea, marijuana remains a very useful medical tool. As yet another example of this, three-year-old Addyson Benton, a sufferer of seizures, has dramatically improved following her family’s move from Ohio to Colorado, where she could begin a medical marijuana regime.

Doctors diagnosed the three-year-old Benton with Intractable Myoclonic Epilepsy when she was 9 months old. According to her aunt, Addyson’s first EEG showed that she “was seizing over 1,000 times a day,” and even on anti-seizure medicine, that number was still around 70.

The Medical Marijuana Battle

The idea of medical marijuana dates back to antiquity. The compound is one of the 50 “fundamental” herbs in Chinese “herbology,” and while traditional Chinese medicine is a crank pseudoscience, some elements of it have proved lasting — marijuana being one of them.

Her parents note that within six hours of taking her first dose, there was a noticeable improvement. They said that she was able to manage her motor capabilities better, and could walk without falling as well as interact with others.

A few weeks later, her mother said that it was “fantastic” and, “Her seizures have gone from around 100 noticeable seizures a day to the other day I think we counted 19. We were down to 19.”
